Problems and Solutions: associating objects and story

The problem of associated objects with the story:

An exploration of Fragmented Narrative

Previous Method: At the beginning, I just have a brief concept of the whole story. I attempt to find objects which can be used as plots for the story in RPG MAKER MZ. However, it’s really a difficult work. New ideas would be conflict with original ideas, making me can’t find suitable things for my project. 


New Method: I changed my way. I constructed a case as detailed as possible and tried to find objects according to these details. Frankly, it's a more effective ways, because I have clear aims of every object. It also reminds me that Fragmented Narrative is just a way of storytelling, instead of a way of creating story.

Method:

First step: constructing a complete story about the case

Every details of the whole story

Second step: Fragmentation of the complete story, selecting part of fragmented information as plots of players.

Third step: I created comparison on text and visual effect and make information connect with the scene and items. The curiosity of connection would guide players.

Multi Perspective Narrative

  How to make a story in game leaving an deep impression on player?   As I said before, wordy text would make player tired, bored and forget the content easily. To solve this problem, I need to solve another problem first:  What can leave a deep impression on memory of people?   The answer is Associated Memory . The video I had posted before briefly interprets the mechanism of people's memory:   Indeed, How much information players encode and remember depends on both the time they took to learn it and how they made it personally relevant to them. Time is another question, while relevance is the key here. If we want to make play can remember the content in game firmly, we have to let them find the relevance of the story.      Therefore, strong relevant content would leave player a deep impression, which can answer the title question.      Based on this conclusion, I want to try a new way of Fragmented Narrative in game, which I call ...
